Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

After a passionate interaction, Ling Chuan leaned against the head of the bed, while Lu Xi lay on his chest, not daring to even look at Ling Chuan.

Ling Chuan, who had entered the sage state, began to look for topics to talk about: "Xi'er, I have a question for you."

"Ok?"

"Yesterday, the sons of the two prime ministers came to visit one after another. They said they were here to buy snacks, but it was obvious that they were trying to get close to us. What do you think is going on?"

Lu Xi thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that your identity has been exposed?"

"What kind of identity do I have? I'm just a clerk in the East Factory, and it's not officially recognized. Those two are both sixth-rank officials. Do they have to go out of their way to make friends with me?"

Lu Xi almost blurted out her identity, but she held back: "I don't know, but the status of the East Factory is not determined by the size of the official position. If the emperor trusts and uses you, you will have great power, and all the civil and military officials will have to curry favor with you."

Ling Chuan's eyes lit up: "Does that count as overwhelming power?"

Lu Xi was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

Ling Chuan became excited: "If that's the case, marrying you would be a piece of cake."

Lu Xi tutted, "It's still too early for you to have all the power in the world, and there's also a wealth that rivals a country, can you do that?"

Ling Chuan patted his chest and said, "The road is paved. Success is just a matter of time. I am sure I can become rich enough to rival a country. As for gaining the emperor's favor and making him trust me, I have no experience in this matter. How about you teach me?"

Lu Xi's face suddenly turned red, and her body twisted involuntarily. She thought to herself, I already favor you, what else can I teach you?

When that smooth skin rubbed against Lingchuan's body, Lingchuan became restless again. Although his ultimate skill was still on cooldown, he could still use a basic attack. So his hand around Lu Xi began to become restless again.

However, Ling Chuan did not attack directly, but instead carefully explored Lu Xi's body, not missing a single detail.

However, when he touched it, he felt a long bulge on Lu Xi's back.

"Hmm? What is this?" Ling Chuan asked in confusion, "Why is there an edge?"

As he spoke, he had already lifted the quilt. In the moonlight, Ling Chuan saw a long scar. To be exact, there were more than one scar, but at least seven or eight scars.

However, those were relatively shallow and felt numb to the touch, while the one I just touched was long and deep, and even though it had healed long ago, it still looked shocking.

The moment Ling Chuan lifted the quilt, Lu Xi screamed, quickly covered the quilt, and grabbed the corner of the quilt tightly.

"Is that a knife wound?"

Lu Xi was silent for a while, but finally nodded.

Ling Chuan was shocked. There were so many scars on the smooth back. What had Lu Xi experienced?

"Who did it?" Ling Chuan suddenly said, "Your husband will avenge you."

Lu Xi was stunned at first, but then smiled: "No need, I have already avenged myself. Besides, you can't even beat me, how can you take revenge?"

Ling Chuan scratched his head awkwardly: "Revenge doesn't necessarily require the use of knives and guns."

Lu Xi's mind moved: "If the enemy is still here, how do you plan to take revenge?"

Ling Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Use money to hit him to death."

"What if the enemy is also rich?"

"Then make him a pauper first, and then use the money to kill him."

"Tsk, he's rich and powerful, why do you want to make him a pauper?"

Ling Chuan snorted, his expression firm and confident: "There are many ways to deal with it. Just tell me who your enemy is. I promise you that I will destroy his family."

Lu Xi stroked Ling Chuan's cheek and said softly, "Don't worry, the enemy is already dead, otherwise you wouldn't have met me."

"Really?" Ling Chuan said, "I tell you, doing business can make you rich or even serve your country. Don't look down on me just because I don't know martial arts."

"I know. You're the best, okay?"

Seeing Lu Xi's coquettish expression, Ling Chuan showed his might: "No, I have to show you how powerful I am even more."

Lu Xi screamed and was pressed under Ling Chuan who turned over. Soon, the scream gradually became fainter and turned into gasps.

However, it was obvious that Ling Chuan was no match for Lu Xi, and he was defeated again after a fierce battle.

This time, Ling Chuan didn't even have the strength to lean on the head of the bed, and he lay down in Lu Xi's arms.

"By the way, you haven't told me how to gain the emperor's trust." Ling Chuan asked himself and answered: "I think I have to do some great deeds. Tell me what problems the emperor has, and I'll see if I can solve them."

Lu Xi thought to himself that you have helped me solve many problems: "You are taking it for granted. Everyone in the court thinks the same way. The easy ones have been solved long ago, and the difficult ones are useless even if you know about them."

"What you said, just because others can't solve it doesn't mean I can't solve it either. Tell me what you think."

Lu Xi thought for a moment and said, "There are many problems. For example, the court is short of money and the treasury is empty. For example, the civil strife three years ago, Northern Qi and Southern Yue took advantage of the opportunity to occupy Dasheng's territory. For example, the emperor has been on the throne for three years, but there are still many ministers in the court who pretend to obey and are hypocritical. "

"Uh, can you tell me something specific that needs to be solved right now?"

Lu Xi immediately said, "If there is one thing that needs to be solved urgently, it is the problem of unstable borders. The crown prince of Qi was executed for treason, and now other princes are fighting for power. One prince who controls the army wants to attack Dasheng and win the throne with military merit."

Ling Chuan scratched his head: "This... I don't understand anything about war."

"Humph, didn't you just say that you can solve problems that others can't? Now that's not possible."

Ling Chuan pinched his hand: "Hey, you dare to say I can't do it?"

When Lu Xi's vitals were attacked, she groaned immediately, gave Ling Chuan a reproachful look, and then boldly reached down, intending to fight back.

The two of them immediately started to fight. After a while, the fight triggered a lot of anger. Lu Xi exclaimed, "Why are you…"

Before he could finish his words, he was replaced by a long groan.

Ling Chuan fought three battles in a row, and this time he finally killed Lu Xi and made him beg for mercy, and then he withdrew his troops and returned to the camp.

"Now you know how powerful I am."

Lu Xi clung to Ling Chuan like an octopus, not wanting to say anything, and just hummed softly.

Although Ling Chuan was physically exhausted, his mind became more and more clear: "Although I don't know much about marching and arranging battle formations, wars are fought for money and food. If I can solve some logistical problems and indirectly improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, it should be considered a meritorious service."

Lu Xi hummed again, holding Ling Chuan's arm a little harder, signaling Ling Chuan to continue speaking.

"I can make white sugar, which can maintain the energy required by the human body and indirectly improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers."

This time, Lu Xi couldn't help but lean back and asked curiously, "What do you mean...the energy required to maintain the human body?"
